Iowa Democrats flipped 2 Republican Iowa Senate seats this year in districts Trump won by double digits — and held a third to block Republicans from taking back their supermajority.
In November, 25 Iowa Senate seats are on the ballot.

From Sen. Janice Weiner:
“Another slap on the wrist. An estimated 72,000 fish dead. A creek contaminated.
Even the DNR said they could have done more to prevent this.”

“Unlike recent campaigns that relied heavily on digital advertising, text messaging and mail, Iowa Democrats are investing heavily in face-to-face voter outreach.”

No job posting. No search for the right candidate. No conversation with the universities. A high level staffer in the governor's office is just handed a new, powerful position with a $20,000 pay bump, six-figure salary, and broad authority.

200 Iowa state workers are losing their pensions.
No public bid. No disclosed contract or costs. No proof behind the $525M savings claim. Just a backroom deal, done on the way out the door.
And here’s what the deal actually costs workers: IPERS.

“Reynolds needs to show us the math,” said Democratic gubernatorial nominee and current state auditor, Rob Sand. “There must be accountability and transparency for the hundreds of workers out of a job.”

We agree. Iowans deserve the receipts. Someone got a very good deal here. It just wasn’t the 200 Iowans losing their pensions to make it happen.

We are monitoring the damage across the state, particularly in SW Iowa, and will update with information about how we can help our neighbors as we hear more. There’s extensive damage from high winds and hail, as well as flooding in places like Ames.

Buried in a budget bill. No debate. No new funding.
Iowa's three public universities are on the hook for at least $2.1 million a year — UI alone nearly $900K — to implement a civics mandate Republicans slipped into the 2026 legislative standings bill.

As Senate Democratic Leader Janice Weiner said: "It would cost students and parents potentially thousands of dollars — and it's an unfunded mandate for the university itself."

The governor is just months away from leaving office and is saddling Iowa with yet another privatization scheme that will cost public employees their jobs. Read more here: bit.ly/4opBl84

REMINDER: Iowa is ranked 44th in the nation for physicians per capita, and last for OB-GYNs.
Our rural communities can’t afford Republicans' attacks on healthcare.

The Senate Majority Fund extends our sincere condolences to the family of Senator Julian Garrett. Senator Garrett served the people of Iowa with dedication for 15 years — as a farmer, an attorney, and a legislator.

While we often sat on opposite sides of the aisle, his commitment to his constituents was never in question. We are thinking of the entire Garrett family.
